This quiet, clean, well-run boutique hotel (only 10 rooms) in the heart of Verdun is perfect for…read moretravelers visiting the area. Fabrice and Victor, the two owners, are the most pleasant people you'll ever meet and are eager to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. They gave us good recommendations for restaurants, as well as local sites to visit. If it had not been for Fabrice's recommendation, my wife and I would have missed a trip to the Butte of Montsec, a spectacular monument commemorating the Battle of St. Mihiel. Our stay included breakfast with several options. Overall, I can't recommend this hotel too highly. FYI, there is a parking lot close by with free overnight parking.

The WiFi never once worked in our room, and the staff kept making excuses, like they expected it would. But other guests had the same problem. We had to go outside or to the lobby to connect. There is no restaurant at the hotel, and it's a healthy walk to the downtown commercial area. Their bar/pub is nice and they will order food in for you, which we did one night. But it's not a real meal. Another night we did the 25 minute walk each way to a great restaurant, but had to be sure we got back before they locked the gate at 11pm. Hotel La Villa Eugene did have a few drawbacks we didn't expect.

I have been a frequent visitor in Villa Eugène since it first opened in 2005…read more I have stayed in several different rooms through out the years and I can say that in general that the staff is nice, welcoming and attentive. When we checked in, we were asked if we had dinner plans and if there were anything that they could help us with. There is a one but thought and that is the breakfast. If you are looking forward to tucking into some fresh vegetables and fresh ingredients and larger choice of breakfast ingredients, it won't happen. The breakfast was very much focused on a selection of cold meats, couple of cheeses, some hard boiled eggs (cold by the time I had them), typical French pastries and selection of jams. They also have a small home made ready made fruit salads and juices ready for crabs in the small fridges. The breakfast: it is not bad by no means but it does leave you for wanting something more, a bit more " va va voom" for a five star hotel. The breakfast is the main reason for the evaluation of four stars.

The wines were wonderful. The owner? So incredibly nice, so outgoing. Despite the language barrier - I speak no French, he very little English, we were able to connect. The atmosphere is wonderful, and being out away from the city made it so much more relaxing. I would stay again; I would eat there for sure!

Trying to ask questions about the wine list from our waiter at dinner was, uh, almost impossible. Happily Bordeaux is spelled Bordeaux in French too! Who'da thunk it?!?! There is literally no where else to eat in Marre. 328 people is like that I suppose. No grocery stores either, but the good news is the restaurant at Gaulois serves an excellent supper. The room was quiet and charmingly updated. This IS the French countryside, with everything you can imagine included.

The proprietor's daughter at a local champagne producer recommend this as the only real restaurant nearby. The menu was limited, as we expected, but the choices were good. After tasting champagnes throughout the morning, we didn't need a bottle with lunch. Just a glass. Plus a nice haddock and penne pasta dish with a cream sauce. We ate in a nice patio area, with most of the patrons local. Language was an issue, but with the limited menu we survived fine. This is a nice place to stop for lunch if touring the champagne region north of Epernay.

We had ate at the restaurant of the hotel in the evening and the food was good. Nothing spectacular but probably one of the best option of the area.

Yes, the grounds make Downton Abbey look like the gardener's quarters! Stunningly beautiful with a rich WW 1 history as an emergency field hospital. The place is so big and airy that it's almost overwhelming. Bring a large contingent and stay a week to humanize the place. Is there croquet? After you stay here, write and let me know. The drive here from Verdun is quick and ever so beautiful. There just aren't many places like this. Go!
